2024 Hardee Wildcats Football Varsity Schedule

Hardee just posted the 2024 football schedule on Instagram, all ten regular season games plus the preseason Kickoff Classic are listed. It's interesting to see Fort Meade back on the schedule after the coaches dropped them from the schedule last year. Hardee's coaches were having trouble finding a home opponent for week 8 but finally found one in Williston who was 11-1 last year and ranked #36 in the state in MaxPreps's final 2023 rankings, their only loss last year was to Hawthorne in the Class 1R Regional Finals. Not included on the Instagram schedule is the May 23 Spring Jamboree in Frostproof which includes five teams: DeSoto, Frostproof, Hardee, Lake Placid, and Victory Christian.

One step closer to HS football losing this lifetime fan forever

The FHSAA in its non stop attempt to ruin the HS football, announced this week that it may end its long standing rule of not allowing players who transfer to participate in Spring football games. The proposal says Ricky Bell (FHSAA Board Member), would be big for recruiting, as it would allow players to be on the field before college recrutiers! Wondering to myself, how long berfore the FHSAA submits a proposal to allow for in game transfers? Because.......Hey its great for recruiting!

So before I end this post, thought I would add a music video from 1/4/1972 on the BBC series "Sounds of Saturday" of the the Band "Faces". The clip is time stamped to start at a rather appropriate titled song of - Losing You

No Love for the Charlotte Tarpons by the Sara Herald Tribune

The outcome wasnt what most of us here were hoping for, as the Tarpons hindered by a 20.8 FG percentage were defeated by Edgewater HS in the semi-final 6A game 44-34.

I was disapointed however to see no mentioned what so ever about the game online by the Herald Tribune this morning? I noted also that their coverage of area outstanding male track atheletes showed a complete lack of genuine sports journalism, as their were a number of atheletes that were not mentioned. I know their excuse will be, that they can only report what is provided to them, but if I can know who is and who isnt in track locally over 60 miles away armed only with my laptop.....I think that pretty much exposes what really is going on here with the want and desire to cover local sports by the local fish wrappers!

Again hats off to the Tarps and their semi-final appearence in boys 6A basketball!
